Holiday Blanket Drive for Homeward Bound of Marin

This Holiday
Season you can provide warmth, hope and a sense of well-being to those in need
by donating any gently used or new twin
blankets and sheets to Homeward
Bound of Marin.

What better
way to express gratitude for the bounty most of us in Marin enjoy than to give
back to our beloved community?

If you have
donations in San Rafael, please call me at 415.596.0778
to set up a convenient time that I can pick up the items from now until
December 19th.

The bedding
will go to Homeward Bound's shelters for homeless families and adults to make
sure all residents are warm this winter. You can also donate additional items
on the WISH LIST below if you don't have twin blankets and sheets to
offer.

For those of
you who aren't familiar with Homeward Bound's amazing work, please see their
website at https://hbofm.org/Home.html.
There are some inspiring videos that highlight the countless ways that
this organization transforms lives right here in our proverbial backyard! Homeward Bound has been the primary provider
of shelter and services for the homeless in Marin County since 1974. Today, they operate 14 different programs
that provide much needed emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent
housing and job training. You'll be awed
by some of the innovative programs they've developed and the results they've
achieved.

Give Gifts that Keep On Giving

If you're still working on your gift list, there's a variety of additional ways we can all support the life-changing work done at Homeward
Bound in Marin through gifts to friends and family. For instance, reservations at the popular
monthly Fresh Start Chef Events at the Key Room in San Rafael will provide a
delightful dining experience to family and friends while supporting those who
are less fortunate. Also, the chocolate Halo Truffles and the Halo HomeMades
line of jams, preserves and salsas make mouth-watering gifts for everyone on
your list. All of these are made at
the Fresh Starts Culinary Academy, which offers job training to people moving
out of homelessness.

Please
contact Dominique Legnitto at dlegnitto@hbofm.org or at 382.3363, ext. 212 for in kind
donations or blanket donation pick up outside of San Rafael. You can also call Maura Thurman at 382.3363,
ext. 213 to make monetary donations.

Thanks in advance for joining me in
supporting the extraordinary work of Homeward Bound of Marin and the crucial contributions
they make to our community. The generosity of spirit in giving to those most in
need will be a gift you'll enjoy through the Holidays and beyond. Any
and all of your donations are greatly appreciated!

Here's wishing you and your loved ones
a safe, happy and healthy Holiday Season and the very best in the New
Year. A special thanks to all my
clients and associates for making 2014 another wonderful and gratifying year in
real estate.
